New ‘Call of Duty’ features Seahawks’ Lynch

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has long been a fan of the video game “Call of Duty.” Now he will be a character.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops III” — the latest version of the game by Activision and Treyarch — will feature a character based on Lynch, who recently took part in the motion-capture process in Activision’s studio in Los Angeles.

“Marshawn Lynch is the perfect match for ‘Call of Duty,'” Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg told ESPN The Magazine. “I mean, he’s a guy who fills stadiums, crushes competitors and has a Beast Mode. What could be more COD than that?”

Lynch, who has been playing the game since his college days at California, said, “It’s a fun-loving way to let off some stress. You’re shooting up everything but always fighting for a bigger picture. The whole game is Beast Mode.”
